Hey everyone, welcome back to another after effect tutorial, today we are going to create a photo gallery slideshow, on this slideshow you can create your memory slideshow, your wedding slideshow, and etc. I hope you like the photo gallery slideshow.

First, create a new comp 1920 x1080 it's called the main comp then create a new scene1 comp then create a new background composition and drag floor texture image into the background timeline now create new placeholder 1 composition width around 1500 pixel and height 800 pixel now create new solid layer then drag your footage into timeline resize footage according to your comp size, Now select rectangle tool and double click on rectangle tool to create a perfect rectangle fill color none and stroke around 80 pixels. Now create new white solid layer then choose ellipse tool and create a mask open mask property goto first frame of the timeline and add a keyframe on mask path and change mask feather around 180 pixels then goto around 3 seconds forward and move your mask. Now select white solid layer and hit T for opacity go to the first frame and add a keyframe and change opacity around 45% then go to a few seconds  forward and change opacity around 30% our animation look like little slow so move both last keyframes you can adjust these keyframe according to your choice.

Now go to scene1 and drag background comp into timeline then drag placeholder1 comp into timeline convert both layers into a 3D layer, Create a new camera I am using 35mm preset camera select background layer and move z position little far away from the camera and change the scale size now create a spotlight and change Z position around -2500 then select the placeholder1 layer and open material options and turn on casts shadows then go to the light and open light property and expand light options and change shadow darkness 30%. Now create a new null layer and move above the placeholder1 layer parent placeholder1 comp with a null 1 layer also turn on 3D we need to animate placeholder 1 layer, hit P for the position and move Z position out of the camera and add a keyframe then go to few second forward and reset the position and move center of the composition also change the Z position little a bit then select null 1 layer and open position and add a keyframe when we add the last key on the placeholder 1 layer then go to few second forward and move Y position little the bit we also animate rotation value so open rotation value of both layer then select placeholder 1 comp and add a keyframe on Z rotation and change Z rotation value little bit then go to the next keyframe and change rotation value the opposite site then go to null1 layer and add a keyframe on Z rotation then go to next keyframe and change Z rotation little bit select both last keyframe and easy ease them you can adjust your keyframe anytime.
